Chamath Palihapitiya: It's Clear Now How Good Trump's First Term Policies Were
Chamath Palihapitiya of the "All-In Podcast" says now is a good time to reevaluate President Trump, saying on issues like the border wall and Middle East peace people mostly "didn't like the messenger, so, we killed the message."
"Turned out he was right," Palihapitiya said. "When are we going to stop shooting ourselves in the foot? When are we going to actually take the time to look past who was saying things and actually listen to them word for word?"
"The work on the border wall, we didn't like the messenger, so, we killed the message... Issuing long-term debt to refinance when rates were at zero. We didn't like the messenger, so we killed the message... A structural peace deal in the Middle East. We didn't like the messenger, so we killed the message."
"It was great work. This is a moment when you have to start to re-underwrite, is one's 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' causing more damage than anything President Trump could have done?"
